Nicole Geri Photography

  • Woman Owned

Nicole Geri is a traveling elopement videographer, photographer, and ordained officiant based in Northern Michigan. Yes, she can document your vows and legally marry you on the spot. Don't stress about if your officiant will make the hike, all you need is two witness' (or 2 random hikers we meet along the way). If you dream of exchanging rings on a windswept dune, reading love letters in a mossy forest, popping champagne on a rocky shoreline as waves crash behind you, or literally chase you on your horse-drawn carriage, you’ve found your girl.

Her work is candid, cinematic, and unscripted. Her focus is on real moments, belly-laughs, soft touches, and the magic that happens when two people forget the camera is there and just be. Think documentary storytelling with true-to-life tones, natural movement, and a little wild-child energy. She guides you to act and play in a way that looks and feels natural.

Michigan is home, specifically Traverse City in summer, but once November hits, her camera and backpack are ready to follow your love story anywhere on the map. From Mackinac Island ferry rides and forest trails in Sleeping Bear, to flights chasing sunshine, culture, and winter elopement romance across the world, she’ll meet you there.

If you're planning an intimate wedding, surprise proposal, adventure engagement, or off-the-grid elopement, Nicole is here to co-create a day that feels like you: joyful, intentional, a little chaotic (in the best way), and absolutely unforgettable.

Based in Northern Michigan | Traverse City May–October Available Worldwide November–April

Come as you are. Bring your love, your dogs, your wild hearts and let's go make something real. ✨

    Nicole is an amazing photographer and professional. We hired her for our intimate wedding in Traverse City, MI and adore our photos. She captured the day and our emotions so well and knows exactly what she's doing. She's a calming presence and captures all the special moments, the scenery, and knows how to guide you while also keeping everything authentic.

    She's a good communicator and is very organized. She also has solid vendor recommendations and you can tell she's highly regarded in wedding community! I trusted her 100% and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    Nicole took amazing pictures of our wedding, which was a small affair outdoors on the lake. The quality of her work speaks for itself. But more than this, Nicole is just a really good person with wonderful energy, lots of knowledge and great ideas. She also pays attention to every little detail during the shoot without making it seem like a chore. The photo shoot was a really fun part of our wedding and we are so happy to have these wonderful memories to look back on for years to come.

    Thank you Nicole!

    I have had Nicole as a photographer for 3 different events now and I cannot say enough good things about her. Not only does Nicole have an artistic eye and produce some of the best photography I have ever seen, but she brings the best vibes and energy. Nicole is professional, reliable and extremely talented at her trade. Every time I have worked with her, she has truly exceeded my expectations. Nicole is the photographer you want on your session, she will have my business for life and I will recommend her to anyone I can.

    Nicole did a wonderful job with my destination wedding photography. I love my photo gallery so much and I look back on it often (probably once a week haha). I sent the gallery link to all my friends and family and they also commented on how amazing the photos were. Timeless, crystal clear, edited perfectly, and TONS of photos (seriously, that gallery is huge). My favorite thing about Nicole's photography was that she didn't really pose my husband and I at all, and she just blended right in with the moment. She caught us in so many candids and allowed us to enjoy the wedding day and each other that much more without having to worry about posing or stopping for a photo. Couldn't have been more pleased and I know I will cherish these photos for years to come. 10/10 highly recommend. Personally, she is super professional, laid back, and very nice. It's hard not to have a great time and smile with her as your photographer. Wish I was in Traverse City more often as I'd have her take my photos for every big occasion.

    I was very picky when it came to picking a videographer. I probably talked to at least 30 different People trying to find the perfect one! Then I stumbled upon Nicole’s page and pretty much that day I felt like she was the one. I instantly messaged her and she got back to me super quick!! She was also very flexible and understanding about my situation as my husband works over seas so getting an answer from him was hard. She had an amazing payment plan which also helped us when it came to paying her. Not only was Nicole above and beyond on our day but she was also above and beyond after!! She has been nothing short of the best vendor of our big day!!! We will be hiring het for the rest of our video needs!!! She is absolutely amazing to work with!!! I have been recommending her to absolutely everyone!!!! She made us feel so comfortable with her and like she was a friend. We are soooo thankful for her!!! She did everything she could to make us feel comfortable!!!

    Thank you so much Nicole for the most stunning pictures of my wedding. We were so honored to have you photograph us. Nicole is so much more then just a photographer ! She was the calm in the storm on my wedding day. She completely crowd controlled too! She could fix anything. She new how to get my veil on, lace up my wedding gown. She made sure my train laid straightafter walking down the isle and before. She has all the little things I forgot such as arm pit wipes since I was sweating like crazy. If Nicole is an option for you I highly highly recommend. All my pictures were pretty much naturally taken pictures that where taken in the moment when I didn’t even notice I was getting my picture, yet they look like I posed. She definitely knows all the right angles of a woman and man. I never thought I could look so pretty.
